Judaism is historically important. Christianity has its roots spring from Judaism and Islam was influenced by it. Also the secular impact of Jews over history is probably much greater than their numbers would suggest. Even today people who consider themselves to be Jews probably have more effect on the world than their numbers as a % of the world's population, or even as a % of the rich western countries would suggest. This fact is exaggerated by some anti-Semites and used to support all sorts of "Jewish conspiracy" claims, but the fact that people who hate, use, exaggerate, and/or twist facts doesn't make them less factual. But yes currently Judaism is dwarfed by Christianity and Islam, and even if it has more impact on the world than its numbers would suggest it still has less, probably a lot less, than Christianity or Islam.
